temperature conditions. The output signal is processed by internal logic. To protect the device against short circuits and overcurrent, thermal protection shuts down the integrated power MOS at a minimum junction temperature of 140 °C. When the temperature returns to around 125°C, the switch automatically turns on again. In a nutshell, the circuit condition protects the reaction with little delay and the sensor is located in the area of the mold where heat is generated.
Protect the device from reverse battery The simplest protection device from the continuous reverse battery voltage (-26V) Insert a Schottky diode between pin 1 (GND) and ground, as in a typical application circuit via this The consequences of the diode's voltage drop are as follows: If the input is pulled to power ground, the device will see a negative voltage at -VF. (VIL) vih threshold and vstat are increased by vf in terms of power ground).
The undervoltage shutdown level is increased by VF.
If the control unit does not need to handle the external analog signal GND of the reference power supply, the best way is to connect the reference potential of the control unit to the node which becomes the common signal GND of the whole control board. In this way no movement of VIH, VIL and VSTAT occurs, nor at the input pins; this solution allows the use of standard diodes with a breakdown voltage that can handle any ISO-normalized negative pulses generated in an automotive environment.
